Intended learning outcomes
After completed the course the student will be able:
- To describe fundamental radiation chemistry in water, how to control radiation-induced reactions and how radiation chemistry can be used to synthesize organic and inorganic nanoparticles. (TEN1).
- To orally and in written form account for how chemical composition, size and shape can be controlled in radiation induced synthesis of a specific nanoparticle. (PRO1).
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
Eligible for studies at the third-cycle level.
Literature
Handouts (research papers).
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
- PRO1 - Project, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TEN1 - Written exam, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Grading criteria are specified in the course PM.
Other requirements for final grade
Learning outcomes completely fulfilled (PRO1, 1 ECTS, TEN1, 2 ECTS).
